Sparks' Bottled Spirits

A Miser’s Dream Routine using five USA Half Dollars a glass and a 50ml bottle, with Dai Vernon’s coin to glass move and Spark’s adaptation of the Harry Kellar coin catch.We supply the Miser’s Dream Bottle and Routine. You supply the coins and glass.

Basic effect: The performer displays a glass and a 50 ml bottle asking the audience if they have ever heard of spirits in a bottle. The performer then removes the lid and gives a short pour into the glass. But nothing is seen to come out. The performer then picks up the glass saying these are not the spirits of alcohol but the spirits of money. At that very moment a half dollar drops into the glass. The performer then repeats the above actions two more times and now there are three coins in the glass! Now in order to make it easier for the audience to see the money, spirits come out of the bottle! The performer then turns it over and gives it a couple of shakes. As this happens two more coins come out of the bottle. This close-up Misers Dream is one of the greatest self contained coin effects of all time! Imagine being able to perform the Misers Dream at any time with nothing in your hands except this small bottle. This makes a wonderful utility prop for any coin worker.

Supplied with the 50ml. Bottle that does most of the work. You supply any glass and five half dollars.
